Interesting New Modules

Views Javascript Random - Awesome! This thing will randomize your views sorting using javascript so that you can provide random results even if you have page caching turned on.

Context Condition Theme - Add conditions to the Context module depending on which theme is being used. Great idea for detecting a mobile theme.

UC Event Registration - Use the Webform module to build event registration forms that are connected to Ubercart. We built something just like this last year. It was a pain. Glad someone released a version of this.

GeoIP Redirect - Redirect users to different sites depending on their IP location. Has options to allow users to override the redirection.

Imagefield Multiformat - Allows you to display multiple-value Imagefields using different presets. So, for example, big first image, smaller for the rest.
